Hey everyone, I know it has been a while since I have posted any of my workouts, but I just had to share this one with you. I ran my first full Marathon today. I can't believe it, when I woke up this morning I was just a runner, now I am a Marathoner and the feeling is amazing.
I had set my goal to finish in 5 hrs flat and it was going really well until mile 20, that's when the heat and humidity started taking its toll. I tried to hydrate as much as I could, but I started having leg cramps and real bad ones at that. I knew I had to abandon my goal of finishing in 5 hours and back way off and just try to finish. The heat and humidity was brutal today, as all those who ran today know. I changed my interval times and just tried to take it really easy the last 10k and at that point I was happy to finish in the time that I did. I am not going to complain about the time, besides it would make it much easier to PR in the next one lol.
Great job Andy! It was so hot! Congrats on finishing your first marathon!!

Absolute way to go. Congrats. Time is less important than a finish. To dig down deep for guts to continue is where it is at. You rock.

I saw you at the Mile 10 water stop. Read the name off your bib and recognized your face. Called out to you, but I don't think you heard. Great job on a tough day and tough course.

Thank you everyone, I appreciate all the great comments. @Smitha, I thought I heard someone call my name and I looked to see who it was, but didn't see you. Hope you had a great race. @Katie, I actually signed up for the Savannah at the expo, hopefully weather will be much better.
